Hamlet is the Prince of Denmark who is seeking revenge for his fathers death The ghost of the King Hamlets father tells Hamlet to revenge his foul and most unnatural murder Since his father asked him he finds it his duty to do as he says In this essay I am going to prove that Hamlet puts off what he has to do until a future time which leads him to his depression He builds things up inside of him until the point that he is not able to handle anything or lacks courage skill and will to do something In his first soliloquy Oh that this too too solid flesh would melt Hamlet talks about the first thing that has made him melancholy or sad He says that his mother barely mourned her husbands death and a month later she remarried To try and make himself feel better Hamlet makes a joke about it when he tells Horatio The funeral baked meats did coldly furnish forth the marriage tables Everyone else knows how much the remarriage of his mother has bothered him The soliloquy in act one scene two shows how upset he is at his mother and himself He believes he is better off dead because no one seems to understand what he is feeling He shows that he is upset at his mother because she got married in such a hurry It makes him think that maybe his uncle and his mother had an affair before King Hamlet died He says that his father used to treat her like she was everything and she degraded herself by marrying someone whom treats her as if she was nothing For example King Claudius Hamlets stepfather always asks Gertrude Hamlets mother to do things for him Claudius tells her to talk to Hamlet so he can listen in on their conversation without even asking Gertrude
